저밀도 폴리에틸렌 가루를 실험실 파티클보드의 hydrophobic (소수성) 첨가제로서 사용하였다. Southem pine 파티클과 실험실에서 합성한 페놀수지를 이용하여 2가지 열압온도와 3가지 폴리에틸렌 첨가량으로 파티클보드를 제조하였다. 파티클보드의 밀도, 힘강도, 박리강도 등의 성질과 물에 대한 치수안정화에 대해 성능을 ASTM D 1037과정에 의해서 평가하였다. 평가된 결과는 폴리에틸렌 첨가량과 열압온도가 증가됨에 따라서 두께팽창률과 물흡수율은 감소한다는 것을 보여준다. 그러나 파티클보드의 물리적인 성질은 폴리에틸렌 첨가량이 증가됨에 따라 나쁜 영향을 준다. 이런 결과는 폴리에틸렌이 패널의 안정화를 개선하기 위해 오직 제한된 양만이 사용될 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

Objective : Lumbar spinal stenosis is conventionally treated with surgical decompression. However, bilateral decompression and laminectomy is more invasive and may not be necessary for lumbar stenosis patients with unilateral radiculopathy. We aimed to report the outcomes of unilateral laminectomy and bilateral pedicle screw fixation with fusion for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and unilateral radiculopathy. Methods : Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with unilateral lower extremity radiculopathy who received limited unilateral decompression and bilateral pedicle screw fixation were included and evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) pain and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores preoperatively and at follow-up visits. Ligamentum flavum thickness of the involved segments was measured on axial magnetic resonance images. Results : Twenty-five patients were included. The mean preoperative VAS score was $6.6{\pm}1.6$ and $4.6{\pm}3.1$ for leg and back pain, respectively. Ligamentum flavum thickness was comparable between the symptomatic and asymptomatic side (p=0.554). The mean follow-up duration was 29.2 months. The pain in the symptomatic side lower extremity (VAS score, $1.32{\pm}1.2$) and the back (VAS score, $1.75{\pm}1.73$) significantly improved (p=0.000 vs. baseline for both). The ODI improved significantly postoperatively ($6.60{\pm}6.5$; p=0.000 vs. baseline). Significant improvement in VAS pain and ODI scores were observed in patients receiving single or multi-segment decompression fusion with fixation (p<0.01). Conclusion : Limited laminectomy and unilateral spinal decompression followed by bilateral pedicle screw fixation with fusion achieves satisfactory outcomes in patients with spinal stenosis and unilateral radiculopathy. This procedure is less damaging to structures that are important for maintaining posterior stability of the spine.

2017년 12월 원주~강릉구간 고속철도 개통과 함께 250km/h급 철도통합무선망(LTE-R)이 세계 최초로 상용화되었다. LTE-R은 음성 및 영상 통화, 고속 데이터 전송, 커버리지 이중화 및 DU 이중화 등 많은 장점이 있으나 UL, DL 각 10MHz의 한정된 대역폭을 사용하므로 효율적인 무선자원 활용이 필요하다. 기존의 Unicast 방식은 주파수 효율이 제안적으로 사용자 수가 증가할 경우 망 부하로 인하여 서비스에 제한이 있으며 이는 안정성과 신뢰성을 보장해야 하는 LTE-R 특성 상 큰 문제로 이어질 수도 있다. 반면 eMBMS를 통한 Multicast 방식을 적용하면 영상데이터와 같은 대용량 데이터 전송수가 늘어도 안정적인 서비스 제공이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이론전 계산값과 시험을 통해 LTE-R 망 부하를 고려한 Unicast 기반의 사용자 임계수를 도출하고 향후 LTE-R의 eMBMS 상용화 적용을 위한 고려사항을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose : This study examines the effect of vibration exercise grafting PNF patterns for 6 weeks on upper body stability and equilibrium for seniors having fifteen or over of MMSE-K. Method : A total of 10 senior citizens participated in this study. Each participant performed PNF patterned exercises using vibration sports equipment for 30 minutes, once static a week, for six weeks. We measured trunk stability and balance degree before and after the six-week exercise program. Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) was used to measure trunk stability, while Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) was used to measure balance degree. The collected data was processed using paired t-test to confirm the difference between pre-program conditions and post-program conditions. Results: The results of our study show that post-program trunk stability measurements increased when compared to pre-program data; however, this increase was not statistically significant. pre and post-measurements for satatic balance and dynamic balance were statistically unchanged. Conclusion: Due to limitations in the number of participants, the procedural design of this experiment, and the limited amount of time participants actually controlled, this study failed to produce statistically significant results. However, further study should be conducted using a systematically implemented exercise program to show support for exercising with flexi-bar as an effective program for the elderly.

본 연구는 한국노동패널을 사용하여 2002~2005년 3년 동안 직장이직률 추세와 이에 영향을 주는 여러 요인들 가운데 노동조합의 역할을 중심으로 실증분석하였다. 기초통계량에 있어서는 노동조합에 가입된 근로자의 직장 유지율이 노조에 가입되어 있지 않은 근로자보다 평균 28.3%포인트 높게 나타났으나, 직장이직에 영향을 미치는 개인의 관측되는 변수를 통제한 결과에서는 노동조합이 직장유지율을 11~13%포인트 증가시키는 것으로 추정되었다. 노동조합이 근로자의 고용안정에 미치는 효과를 세부적으로 살펴보기 위하여 Fairlie(2003)가 개발한 비선형분해 방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 비선형분해(Non-linear decomposition) 방법을 사용하여 노조-비노조 간 직장이 직률의 차이를 근로자의 관측되는 변수에 의해 설명되는 부분과 설명되지 못하는 부분으로 나누어 살펴볼 때 설명되는 부분의 기여도가 67~74%로서 추정되고 설명되지 못하는 부분이 나머지 26~33%를 차지함을 알 수 있다. 이는 노동조합이 조합원들의 고용안정에 기여한 부분 외에도 노조에 가입된 근로자의 직장이직 성향이 노조에 가입되지 않거나 노조가 조직되어 있지 않은 사업장에 종사하는 근로자보다 평균적으로 낮음을 시사한다. 실증분석 결과는 노동조합의 고용안정 효과는 최대 7~9%포인트 경계 안에서 한정됨을 시사한다. 노동조합의 고용안정에 미치는 효과가 이처럼 작은 원인은 기업별 단체교섭구조, 외환위기 이후 기업경쟁의 심화, 기업규모별 노동시장 분절화 등 다양한 원인을 추론해 볼 수 있을 것이다.

The major focus of this study is to evaluate a newly developed stream naturalness index system 'Habitat-riparian Indexing System (HIS).' There have been many studies that have assessed stream naturalness in order to provide information required for restoration. The results of these studies were enough for the purpose of the studies; however, the methodologies were limited especially with respect to rapid measurement and the representation of ecological habitats. Therefore, we derived crucial variables from a popularly utilized method and merged them with other criteria obtained from overseas approaches, resulting in the development of the HIS method. The stability of HIS was evaluated by comparing the results with the Stream Naturalness Index (SNI) of Cho (1997). We monitored 100 stream sites in the Nakdong River system using the two different methods for two sampling periods (spring and autumn), and the results were compared using statistical analyses. The determination coefficients between the index values from two methods were c.a. 0.6 for both seasons, and statistics revealed that HIS had a relatively higher stability, providing index values for stream environments. The results of this work suggest a possibility of the utility of HIS for other stream habitats.

The mechanical properties of the concrete-frozen soil interface play a significant role in the stability and service performance of construction projects in cold regions. Current research mainly focuses on the precast concrete-frozen soil interface, with limited consideration for the more realistic cast-in-place concrete-frozen soil interface. The two construction methods result in completely different contact surface morphologies and exhibit significant differences in mechanical properties. Therefore, this study selects silty clay as the research object and conducts direct shear tests on the concrete-frozen soil interface under conditions of initial water content ranging from 12% to 24%, normal stress from 50 kPa to 300 kPa, and freezing temperature of -3℃. The results indicate that (1) both interface shear stress-displacement curves can be divided into three stages: rapid growth of shear stress, softening of shear stress after peak, and residual stability; (2) the peak strength of both interfaces increases initially and then decreases with an increase in water content, while residual strength is relatively less affected by water content; (3) peak strength and residual strength are linearly positively correlated with normal stress, and the strength of ice bonding is less affected by normal stress; (4) the mechanical properties of the cast-in-place concrete-frozen soil interface are significantly better than those of the precast concrete-frozen soil interface. However, when the water content is high, the former's mechanical performance deteriorates much more than the latter, leading to severe strength loss. Therefore, in practical engineering, cast-in-place concrete construction is preferred in cases of higher negative temperatures and lower water content, while precast concrete construction is considered in cases of lower negative temperatures and higher water content. This study provides reference for the construction of frozen soil-structure interface in cold regions and basic data support for improving the stability and service performance of cold region engineering.

The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) provides standardized product models for the building construction domain. However, the current IFC schema has limited representation for infrastructure. Several studies have examined the data schema for road and highway modeling, but not in a sufficiently comprehensive and robust manner to facilitate the overall integrated project delivery of road projects. Several discussions have focused on slope engineering for road projects, but no solution has been provided regarding the formalized parametric modeling up to now. Iterative design, analysis, and modification are observed during the process of slope design for road projects. The practitioners need to carry out the stability analysis to consider different road design alternatives, including horizontal, vertical, and cross-section designs. The procedure is neither formalized nor automated. Thus, there is a need to develop the formal representation of the product and process of slope analysis for road design. The objective of this research is to develop a formal representation (i.e., an IFC extension data schema) for slope analysis. It consists of comprehensive information required for slope analysis in a structured manner. The deliverable of this study contributes to both the formal representation of infrastructure development and, further, the automated process of slope design for road projects.

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the center of pressure (CoP) complexity pattern in approximate entropy technique between genders at different conditions of running speed. Background: It is conducted to evaluate the complexity pattern of CoP in the increment of running speed to have insights to injury prediction, stability, and auxiliary aids for the foot. Method: Twenty men (age=22.3±1.5 yrs.; height=176.4±5.4 cm; body weight=73.9±8.2 kg) and Twenty women (age=20.8±1.2 yrs.; height=162.8±5.2 cm; body weight=55.0±6.3 kg) with heel strike pattern were recruited for the study. While they were running at 2.22, 3.33, 4.44 m/s speed on a treadmill (instrumented dual belt treadmills, USA) with a force plate, CoP data were collected for the 10 strides. The complexity pattern of the CoP was analyzed using the ApEn technique. Results: The ApEn of the medial-lateral and antero-posterior CoP in the increment of running speed showed significantly difference within genders (p<.05), but there were not statistically significant between genders at all conditions of running speed. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, CoP complexity pattern in the increment of running speed was limited to be characterized between genders as an indicator to judge the potential injury and stability. Application: In future studies, it is needed to investigate the cause of change for complexity of CoP at various running speed related to this study.

A propofol delivery system was prepared using two biocompatible polymeric surfactants, poloxamer 407 and PEG 400. The nanoparticular stability of the micellar system was evaluated in terms of temperature change, storage time and composition. The particle size of the system was slightly increased with elevating temperature from $4^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$, but its distribution was unimodal. At $40^{\circ}C$, the system presented a bimodal particle size distribution and the increase in the fraction of particles larger than 15 nm. This result might be due to the expansion of the nanoparticles through micellar swelling at the high temperature. It was found that propofol was gradually come out of the system, stored for a month at three different temperatures (4, 25 and $40^{\circ}C$). The drug loss was apparently dependent on temperature and the system composition. Increasing temperature induced the acceleration of the drug loss of $7{\sim}10%$ at $4^{\circ}C$ and $14{\sim}16 %$ at $40^{\circ}C$. This may be owing to the high diffusivity resulting from the swelling of the hydrophilic surface of the nanoparticle at high temperature. However, the addition of PEG 400 to the system led to the reduction of the drug loss. This result is associated with the previous investigation that PEG coverage decreased diffusion coefficient because of the formation of the denser structure on the surface of nanoparticulate. Nevertheless, the limited amount of PEG, less than 2% (w/v), should be used to prevent the precipitation and discoloration of the system.
