The present study was conducted to judge the applicability of field quality control by children's goods manufacturers by assessing the contents of heavy metals such as Pb and Cd in outdoor play goods for children through measurement using Portable XRF and comparing the results through detailed analyses using ICP. Heavy metal contents of 711 part samples of 505 products were measured using XRF. According to the results, the ratio of products that exceeded the Pb and Cd content standards specified under the Quality Management and Safety Control of Industrial Products Act were 2.4% and 2.6%. Many products certified for self-regulated safety exceeded the standards and thus it was considered that harmful chemical material centered safety management systems would be necessary. Detailed ICP analyses of some products were compared and the results showed deviations of 0.9~80.8% from XRF results. The reasons for this are deviations in the characteristics of measured cross sections and the homogeneity of samples resulting from sample preparation methods, etc. Therefore, it is considered that field quality control will be applicable if measuring methods are efficiently established based on product characteristics and calibration curve preparation methods are established through quality control.

터널 구조물은 다른 사회간접시설과 마찬가지로 시공과정에서부터 사용연한까지 지속적으로 안전성이 확보되어야 한다. 특히, NATM 공법으로 시공되는 터널 콘크리트 라이닝은 터널의 외장재로 취급되어 왔지만, 근년에 와서 노후화된 터널의 콘크리트 라이닝에서 발생하는 심각한 구조적 균열에 대한 문제가 야기되면서 터널의 장기적인 안전성을 유지하는 최종 지보수단인 구조재로 고려되고 있다. 콘크리트 라이닝 천단부의 종방향 균열 발생은 콘크리트 시공방법과 같은 연관관계를 가지고 있다. 콘크리트 라이닝 타설시 강재 거푸집의 천단부 부터 콘크리트를 주입함으로 콘크리트가 측벽 쪽으로 유동하면서 충전되어 천단부 라이닝 콘크리트는 마지막으로 콘크리트가 타설되기 때문에 천단부의 상부에 공동이 발생할 우려가 크며, 이로 인해 콘크리트 라이닝의 두께도 부족하게 되는 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 터널 콘크리트 라이닝에서 여러 요인으로 발생하는 균열을 보다 효율적으로 제어하기 위하여 콘크리트 라이닝에서 발생하는 균열 특성, 기존 강섬유보강 콘크리트 라이닝과 복합섬유보강 콘크리트 라이닝의 수치해석적 접근을 시도하였다. 즉, 터널 라이닝 천단부에 강섬유와 복합섬유의 혼입률에 따른 콘크리트 라이닝 부재의 파괴하중과 변위에 대하여 분석하였다.

Air mattress is now used widely to prevent the pressure ulcer by reducing the localized pressure peaks. The pressure control method based on the anthrophometric model of an air-cell mattress developed in this study is presented. The air-cell mattress has 18 cylindrical air cells made of porous material allowing air leakage. Even though the air leakage can contribute to reducing the development of pressure ulcer by lowering the pressure peak, temperature and humidity, the air pressure changes with time and the desired air-cell pressure has to be determined as an optimal value for each user. To select the desired air-cell pressure, we first divide the parts of the body into four sections such as head, trunk, hip, and leg. Then, the pressure of each section grouped with air-cells is calculated from the weight of each part estimated from the individual height and body weight. Air supply system for the air-cell mattress is implemented by using four electronic solenoid valves and an air compressor, and it is driven by a real-time microcontroller. We experimented with five subjects of the contact pressure on skin. The experimental results show that the proposed air-cell mattress is effective for the prevention of the pressure ulcer.

교육용으로 사용되는 피삭재(소재)는 SM20C, Al6061, 아크릴 등의 소재를 사용한다. SM20C 소재는 탄소강으로서 자격증 시험 및 기능경기대회에서 많이 사용되지만 산업현장에서도 많이 사용된다. Al6061 소재는 탄소강에 비하여 경도가 낮아지고 전성(연성)이 강한 소재이기에 공구의 구성인선이 많이 발생하는 소재 라고 한다. 아크릴 소재를 이용하여 학생들에게 실습지도 하면 어느 부분에서 과다 절삭으로 인하여 진동이 발생하고 공구의 파손이 발생하는 소재이다. 이러한 과정에서 5축장비인 2NC헤드에게 가해지는 충격이 정밀도 제어에는 어느정도 영향을 줄 수 있는지 알아본다. 5축장비의 가장 취약한 부분은 AC축을 제어하는 헤드가 가장 약한 부분이라 할 수 있다. 이 부분의 정밀도 및 누적 공차가 발생할 경우 모든 제품의 정밀도가 떨어지는 현상이 발생한다. 따라서 2NC헤드의 핵심적인 부분, 스핀들 하우징은 Al7075 T6(미국 알코아사) 소재를 사용하고 전체 바디는 FCD450 (구상흑연주철) 사용하여 진행하였다. 이 두가지 소재에서 작용되는 진동 및 절삭 과정에서 힘을 극한조건에서 유한요소 해석으로 적용되는 값을 밝혀 내고자 해석을 진행하였다. 이러한 해석 데이터를 활용하여 학생들이 5축절삭 보다 5축 가공기의 구조를 보고 이해하는데 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

성공적인 방수 시공을 위해서는 건축에 사용되는 방수재료의 재질적 성능뿐만 아니라 시공 품질을 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 건설경기 침체에 따른 장기적인 원가절감 정책으로 인해 대부분의 건설사에서는 명확한 품질관리 기준이 없는 고급 방수 자재보다는 일반 저가의 방수 자재를 사용하고 있으며, 건설에 대한 명확한 교육 없이 건설 활동에만 의미를 두고 건설을 진행하고 있다. 또한, 복합적으로 적용되는 방수공법은 시공공법이 복잡하여 시공 품질이 부족하고 방수 불량으로 누수가 발생하는 상황에 놓여있으며, 성공적인 방수공사를 위해서는 품질관리 방안(설계, 자재, 시공)을 검토하고, 파생되는 문제점을 개선하여 안정적인 방수공사가 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 것이 필요하다. 건축물의 누수방지 효과를 기대하기 위해서는 먼저 설계단계에서 건축물의 각 부분과 환경에 적합한 자재를 선정하여야 하며, 선정된 자재는 한국산업규격(KS)의 모든 항목을 만족하여야 한다. 둘째, 방수시고의 품질을 확보하기 위해서는 작업자의 성실한 시공이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 자재 선정 후 품질관리 대책으로 "방수 설계 검토", "시공자 교육", "현장실사", "비평(수정/보완)"에관한 현장점검 체크리스트를 제시하여 현장에서 안전 및 고품질의 방수공사확보를 위한 개선방안을 제시하였습니다.

This study, adopting the pretest-post test experimental study, is designed to find out how the functional electrical stimulation makes effect on the balance of a patient with spasticity of the ankle plantarflexor muscle caused by hemiplegic after stroke. The 46 subjects for this study were randomly sampled out of the patients who were hospitalized from September 1, 2003 to November 30, 2003 in H sanitarium in Yangpyung. The patients were with spasticity of the ankle plantarflexor muscle caused by hemiplegic after stroke and able to walk without supporting implements. The purpose of the study is firstly to analyze the change of ROM, FRTof a patient with spasticity of the ankle plantarflexor muscle when the functional electrical stimulation is applied and secondly to find out how the sex, age, height, weight, part of the diagnosis, duration of pain, experience of relapse and getting hurt from a fall of a patient make effect on the change. The experimental group for the study is divided into two to compare the differences of the effect. The exercising treatment only was performed for the conrtol group, and the functional electrical stimulation to the ankle dorsiflexor muscle as well as the exercising treatment was applied to the experimental group. The ROM test was performed to check the range of motion of the ankle with a double armed universal goniometer. The test was done 3 times to take an average. FRT were performed to check the balance. The statistical test was conducted using the SPSS 10.0/PC program by means of the following methods: χ2-test and t-test for testing homogeneity between the groups; paired t-test, independent sample t-test, F-test, and two-way ANOVA for analyzing the changes before and after the treatment. The levels of statistical significance of all the data were maintained at p<.05. According to the test, ROM has more decreased in experimental group than in control group when the functional electrical stimulation was applied only to the experimental group. However, the significant statistic difference was not shown (p=.059). FRT showed remarkable differences in the experimental group compared to the control group, showing the significant statistic difference (p=.000). On the one hand, the change of ROM, FRT related with the sex, age, height, weight, part of the diagnosis, and experience relapse was a meaningless minimum value. The change of ROM related to the duration of pain and the experience of falling down was also meaningless. However, FRT showed significant statistic difference (p<.05). According to the test above, the application of functional electrical stimulation to a patient with spasticity of the ankle dorsiflexor muscle caused by hemiplegic after stroke makes significant effect on the balance of a patient, but the result has nothing with the sex, age, height, weight, part of the diagnosis, duration of pain, experience of relapse and getting hurt from a fall of a patient. However, it is regarded to give contribution to the balance improvement of a patient. Therefore, this study expects to be a valuable clinical material for a patient with spasticity.

A new type of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) with a longitudinally profiled steel plate working as the core (LPBRB) is proposed and experimentally investigated. Different from conventional BRBs with a constant thickness core, both stiffness and strength of the longitudinally profiled steel core along its longitudinal direction can change through itself variable thickness, thus the construction of LPBRB saves material and reduces the processing cost. Four full-scale component tests were conducted under quasi-static cyclic loading to evaluate the seismic performance of LPBRB. Three stiffening methods were used to improve the fatigue performance of LPBRBs, which were bolt-assembled T-shaped stiffening ribs, partly-welded stiffening ribs and stiffening segment without rib. The experimental results showed LPBRB specimens displayed stable hysteretic behavior and satisfactory seismic property. There was no instability or rupture until the axial ductility ratio achieved 11.0. Failure modes included the out-of-plane buckling of the stiffening part outside the restraining member and core plate fatigue fracture around the longitudinally profiled segment. The effect of the stiffening methods on the fatigue performance is discussed. The critical buckling load of longitudinally profiled segment is derived using Euler theory. The local bulging behavior of the outer steel tube is analyzed with an equivalent beam model. The design recommendations for LPBRB are presented finally.

The radish skin and radish greens are an edible part of the radish. But they are removed before eating the radish and used as a byproduct or an animal feed material because of their tough and rough texture. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of supercritical heat-treated radish-extract on UV-induced HRM-2 wrinkled mouse animal model on anti-aging wrinkles. Supercritical heat-treated radish-extract was applied on the back of seven-weeks old HRM-2 mice. The effect of HRE on skin thickness, elasticity and wrinkle formation of the mice was observed by using UVB lamp to induce melanogenesis and wrinkle formation. As the result, increased depth of wrinkles was observed in the negative control group in comparison to the normal group. In contrast, decreased depth of wrinkles was observed in the radish-extract-free group compared to the negative control group. In the study of the effect of radish-extract on wrinkle-formation related gene expression and protein what protein expression, MMP-2 and MMP-9 gene expression significantly increased in the negative control group compared to the normal group. The gene expression reduced in dependence to the mass of radish-extract treated. Similar to quantitative results of mRNA expression, the expression of MMP-2 protein increased as a result of UVB-irradiation. The MMP-2 expression was inhibited in dependence to the mass of radish-extract treated. In conclusion, the supercritical heat-treated radish-extract has an effect on improving skin wrinkles not only when it is applied to the skin but also when orally ingested. Thus, it can be effectively used as a composition to health functional products. Therefore we can also conclude that radish a food that does not show any side-effects even upon long-term intake can reduce wrinkle formation as well as improve skin elasticity when taken regularly for a long period.

평판 유동에서 유동을 제어하기 위하여 압전 세라믹을 이용한 액추에이터가 설계되었다. 액추에이터가 15Hz의 낮은 가진 주파수로 구동할 때, 설계된 액추에이터에 의해 발생된 유동 교란을 알아보기 위해 경계층 측정이 수행되었다. 경계층에서의 평균 유동속도와 섭동량이 액추에이터 끝단에서 $x/{\delta}^*=31.9$ 떨어진 하류위치에서 1축 열선프로브(55P14)로 측정되었다. 측정 결과, 속도가 느린 영역과 빠른 영역이 각각 액추에이터의 중심부근 및 바깥부분에서 관찰되었으며, 이것으로 서로 마주보며 회전하는 한 쌍의 유동방향 와류의 발생이 예측되었다. 섭동량은 액추에이터의 바깥부분에서 크게 나타났으며, 벽면근처에서 유동방향 속도의 스팬방향 변화에서 변곡점이 관찰되었다. 액추에이터가 낮은 주파수에서 구동하는 경우에는 경계층 불안정성이 액추에이터의 가진 주파수와 T-S 파동에 해당하는 주파수에서 함께 증폭된다.
