목적: 물 속에서 튜브 발성은 semi-occluded vocal tract(SOVT) 연습 중 하나로 환자가 튜브를 물 속에 잠기게 하여 거품을 내면서 발성을 하는 것으로 음성 훈련에 널리 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 과기능성 음성장애 환자를 대상으로 물저항발성 동안 튜브 직경과 튜브를 담그는 물 깊이가 물거품 높이와 최대발성지속시간(maximum phonation time, MPT)에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 방법: 과기능성 음성장애 환자 17명에게 튜브 직경(5, 7, 10 mm), 튜브를 담그는 물 깊이(4, 7, 10 cm)에 따라 지속적인 /u/발성을 하면서 거품을 내도록 하였다. 물거품 높이 및 MPT 기록을 위해 수위 센서를 이용한 물저항발성 바이오피드백 시스템을 사용하였다. 결과: 물거품 높이는 튜브 직경에 의해 유의하게 변화한 반면 MPT는 튜브 직경과 깊이에 따라 유의하게 변화하였다. 직경이 더 넓을수록 주어진 깊이에 대해 유의하게 낮은 물거품 높이를 나타냈지만, 상대적으로 일관된 버블 높이가 유지되었다. 물의 깊이에 따라 주어진 튜브 직경에서 물거품 높이는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 물의 깊이에 따라 MPT는 유의하게 감소하였고 튜브가 넓을수록 MPT가 유의하게 감소하였다. 결론: 수위 센서 방식의 물저항 바이오피드백 시스템은 튜브 직경 및 수심에 따른 기포 특성 및 성대 진동에 대해 유용한 정보를 제공하였다. 또한, 수위센서를 이용한 물저항발성 바이오시스템은 과기능적 음성장애가 있는 환자의 물저항 발성 중 호흡 지지를 모니터링하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Using high magnetic flux from a 60 Hz high-current cable, a 2 W wireless-powered energy harvesting receiver for sensor operation, internet of things (IoT) devices, and LED lights inside electrical cable tunnels is proposed. The proposed receiver comprises a copper coil with a high number of turns, a ring-shaped ferromagnetic core, a capacitor for compensating for the impedance of the coil in series, and a rectifier with various types of loads, such as sensors, IoT devices, and LEDs. To achieve safe and easy installation around the power cable, the proposed ring-shaped receiver is designed to easily open or close using a clothespin-shaped handle, which is made of highly-insulated plastic. Laminated silicon steel plates are assembled and used as the core because of their mechanical robustness and high saturation flux density characteristic, in which the thickness of each isolated plate is 0.3 mm. The series-connected resonant capacitor, which is appropriate for low-voltage applications, is used together with the proposed receiver coil. The concept of the figure of merit, which is the product weight and cost of both the silicon steel plate and the copper wire, is used for an optimized design; therefore, the weight of the fabricated receiver and the price of raw material is 750 gf and USD $2 each, respectively. The 2.2 W powering capability of the fabricated receiver was experimentally verified with a power cable current of $100A_{rms}$ at 60Hz.

Sucrose is a crucial compound for the growth and development of plants, and the regulation of multiple genes depends on the amount of soluble sugars present. Sucrose acts as a signaling molecule that regulates a proton-sucrose symporter, with its sensor being the sucrose transporter. Flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis are regulated by sucrose, and sucrose signaling can affect flavonoid and anthocyanin accumulation. In the present study, we found a Myb transcription factor affecting accumulation of anthocyanin. AtMyb56 showed an increase in its expression in response to sucrose treatment. Under normal conditions, anthocyanin accumulation was similar between Col-0 (wild type) and atmyb56 mutant seedlings; however, under sucrose treatment, the level of anthocyanin accumulation was lower in the atmyb56 mutant plants than in Col-0 plants. Preliminary microarray analysis led to the investigation of the expression of one candidate gene, AtGPT2, in the atmyb56 mutant. The phosphate translocator, which is a plastidial phosphate antiporter family, catalyzes the import of glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) into the chloroplast. AtGPT2 gene expression was altered in atmyb56 seedlings in a sucrose-dependent manner in response to circadian cycle. Furthermore, the lack of AtMyb56 resulted in altered accumulation of maltose in a sucrose-dependent manner. Therefore, the sucrose responsive AtMyb56 regulates AtGPT2 gene expression in a sucrose-dependent manner to modulate maltose and anthocyanin accumulations in response to the circadian cycle.

Sapphire is an anisotropic material with excellent physical and chemical properties and is used as a substrate material in various fields such as LED (light emitting diode), power semiconductor, superconductor, sensor, and optical devices. Sapphire is processed into the final substrate through multi-wire saw, double-side lapping, heat treatment, diamond mechanical polishing, and chemical mechanical polishing. Among these, chemical mechanical polishing is the key process that determines the final surface quality of the substrate. Recent studies have reported that the material removal characteristics during chemical mechanical polishing changes according to the crystal orientations, however, detailed analysis of this phenomenon has not reported. In this work, we carried out chemical mechanical polishing of C(0001), R($1{\bar{1}}02$), and A($11{\bar{2}}0$) substrates with different sapphire crystal planes, and analyzed the effect of crystal orientation on the material removal characteristics and their correlations. We measured the material removal rate and frictional force to determine the material removal phenomenon, and performed nano-indentation to evaluate the material characteristics before and after the reaction. Our findings show that the material removal rate and frictional force depend on the crystal orientation, and the chemical reaction between the sapphire substrate and the slurry accelerates the material removal rate during chemical mechanical polishing.

본 연구의 목적은 소프트 골프 용구가 인체에 미치는 역학적 효과를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 골프 스윙 동작을 캡처하여 스윙 모델을 생성하였고 시뮬레이션을 통해 손목, 팔꿈치, 어깨, 허리 관절의 토크를 도출하였다. 총 5명이 실험에 참여하였고 아연 합금 헤드의 소프트 골프 클럽과 기존 아이언 7번 클럽을 사용하였으며, 클럽당 5번씩 스윙을 수행하였다. 3대의 포지션 센서, 적외선 발광마커와 힘판을 사용하여 골프 스윙 동작을 캡처하였다. 인체 모델 생성 및 동역학 해석 프로그램을 통해 스윙 모델을 생성하여 시뮬레이션 하였고 관절의 토크를 도출하였다. 결과로 소프트 골프 클럽을 이용한 스윙에서 손목 관절 토크는 기존 골프 클럽을 이용한 스윙의 48.83 % 수준이며, 팔꿈치는 61.10 %, 어깨는 74.74 %, 허리는 102.46 %이다. 따라서 소프트 골프 클럽을 이용하여 스윙할 때, 기존 골프 클럽을 이용할 때보다 작은 힘으로 스윙 동작을 수행할 수 있기 때문에 관절에 부하가 적을 것이며, 관절 부상의 감소에 기여할 것이다.

In this study, a portable total-phosphorus (TP) monitoring system utilizing a photocatalytic-reaction-based pretreatment method is proposed, fabricated, and characterized. Commercial TP monitoring systems are only used in laboratories because of their complex monitoring procedure, bulk-size, and high-cost. In particular, pretreatment in commercial TP monitoring systems is performed at high temperatures (> 120 ℃) and pressure (> 1.1 kg cm^-2) making it difficult to minimize the scale of the systems. The proposed TP monitoring system employs a pretreatment method with a photocatalytic reaction; thus, its size can be reduced, as photocatalytic reactions occur at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Analytes with various TP concentrations are pretreated using the proposed portable TP monitoring system and are quantitatively measured with an LED and a photodiode.

A fluorometric detection technique for HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) was developed for application in a fiber-optic immunosensor using a protein A Langmuir-Blodgget (LB) film. For the fluorescence immunoassay, antibodies specific to HDL or LDL were imobilied on the protein A LB film, and a fluorescence amplification method was developed to overcome their weak fluorescence. The deposition of protein A using the LB technique was monitored using a surface pressure-are $({\pi}-A)$ curve, and the antibody immobilization of the protein A LB film was experimentally verified. The immobilized antibody was used to separate only HDL and LDL from a sample, then the fluorescence of he separated HDL or LDL was amplified. The amount of LDL or HDL was measured using the developed fiber optic fluorescence detection system. The optical properties resulting from the reaction of HDL or LDL with o-phtaldialdehyde, detection range, response time, and stability of the immunoassay were all investigated. The respective detection ranges for HDL and LDL were sufficient to diagnose the risk of coronary heart disease. The amplification step increased the sensitivity, while selective separation using the immobilized antibody led to linearity in the sensor signal. The regeneration of the antibody-immobilized substrate could produce a stable and reproducible immunosensor.

Several planktonic dinoflagellates, including Cochlodinium polykrikoides (p), are known to produce red tides responsible for massive fish kills and serious economic loss in turbid Northwest Pacific (Korean and neighboring) coastal waters during summer and fall seasons. In order to mitigate the impacts of these red tides, it is therefore very essential to detect, monitor and forecast their development and movement using currently available remote sensing technology because traditional ship-based field sampling and analysis are very limited in both space and temporal frequency. Satellite ocean color sensors, such as Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), are ideal instruments for detecting and monitoring these blooms because they provide relatively high frequency synoptic information over large areas. Thus, the present study attempts to evaluate the red tide index methods (previously developed by Ahn and Shanmugam et al., 2006) to identify potential areas of red tides from SeaWiFS imagery in Korean and neighboring waters. Findings revealed that the standard spectral ratio algorithms (OC4 and LCA) applied to SeaWiFS imagery yielded large errors in Chl retrievals for coastal areas, besides providing false information about the encountered red tides in the focused waters. On the contrary, the RI coupled with the standard spectral ratios yielded comprehensive information about various ranges of algal blooms, while RCA Chl showing a good agreement with in-situ data led to enhanced understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of the recent red tide occurrences in high scattering and absorbing waters off the Korean and Chinese coasts. The results suggest that the red tide index methods for the early detection of red tides blooms can provide state managers with accurate identification of the extent and location of blooms as a management tool.

The combined use of smart materials, complementing each others' characteristics and resulting in devices with optimised features, is providing new solutions in many industries. The use of ingenious combinations of smart materials has led to improvements in actuation speed and force, signal-to-noise ratio, sensor precision and unique capabilities such as self-sensing self-healing systems and energy autonomy. This may all give rise to a revival for numerous families of smart materials, for which application proposals had already reached a stationary situation. It may also provide the boost needed for the definitive industrial success of many others. This study focuses on reviewing the proposals, preliminary studies and success cases related to combining smart materials to obtain multifunctional, improved systems. It also examines the most outstanding applications and fields for the combined use of these smart materials. We will also discuss related study areas which warrant further research for the development of novel approaches for demanding applications.
