남자 초 중 고등학생의 척추측만증 유병률을 알아 보고자 1988년 5월 부산 시내 남자 2개 국민학교 4학년 463명, 1개 중학교 1학년 543명, 1개 고등학교 1학년 387명 총 1,393명을 대상으로 국민학생에게는 시진으로, 중 고등학생에게는 시진과 폐결핵 집단검진을 위해 실시한 흉부X-선 간접촬영을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이상소견으로 나타난 학생의 체중, 신장, 평소 가방을 메고 다니는 방향을 조사하였다. 만곡의 크기는 Cobb's 방법을 이용하였다. 사진과 흉부X-선 간접촬영 어느 한쪽이라도 척추에 이상소견으로 판정된 학생은 국민학생 15명(3.2%), 중학생 174명(32.0%), 그리고 고등학생 92명(23.8%)이었다. 그러나 시진과 흉부X-선 간접촬영 모두 이상소견으로 일치되는 경우는 중학생 2.2%, 고등학생 2.6%이었으며 Cobb's 각이 $5^{\circ}$ 이상인 척추측만증은 중학생 1.1%, 고등학생 2.3%였다. 두가지 조사방법에 모두 이상소견을 보인 학생들의 가방메는 방향과 척추만곡의 방향은 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 두가지 조사방법중 어느 한가지에 이상소견을 보인 281명의 평균체중과 신장은 같은 나이의 우리나라 표준체중과 신장에 비해 국민학생의 경우 체중은 거의 같았으나 신장은 표준신장보다 약간 작았다. 중학생은 표준치보다 체중은 1.4kg, 신장은 4.3cm 작았고 고등학생의 평균 체중과 신장은 모두 표준치보다 약간 더 높았다. 본 조사성적으로 미루어 보아 고등학교 상급학년에는 척추측만증 유병률이 더 높을 것이며 여학생들에게는 남자보다 더 흔하므로 척추측만증은 간과할 수 없는 학교보건문제로 생각된다. 또한 척추측만증 예방을 위해 가방의 무게를 줄이고, 학교에서 바른 자세를 갖도록 교육하고, 주기적으로 체조를 시키도록 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

Study Design: Retrospective study. Purpose: Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration is an important cause of low back pain. Overview of Literature: Spinal fusion is often reported to have a good course for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, many studies have reported that adjacent segment degeneration is accelerated after lumbar spinal fusion. Radiography is a simple method used to evaluate the orientation of the vertebral column. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method most often used to specifically evaluate intervertebral disc degeneration. The Pfirrmann classification is a well-known method used to evaluate degenerative lumbar disease. After spinal fusion, an increase in stress, excess mobility, increased intra-disc pressure, and posterior displacement of the axis of motion have been observed in the adjacent segments. Methods: we retrospectively secured and analyzed the data of 15 patients (four boys and 11 girls) with AIS who underwent a spinal fusion surgery. We studied the full-length view of the spine (anterior-posterior and lateral) from the X-ray and MRI obtained from all patients before surgery. Postoperatively, another full-length spine X-ray and lumbosacral MRI were obtained from all participants. Then, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, curve correction, and fused and free segments before and after surgery were calculated based on X-ray studies. MRI images were used to estimate the degree to which intervertebral discs were degenerated using Pfirrmann grading system. Pfirrmann grade before and after surgery were compared with Wilcoxon signed rank test. While analyzing the contribution of potential risk factors for the post-spinal fusion Pfirrmann grade of disc degeneration, we used generalized linear models with robust standard error estimates to account for intraclass correlation that may have been present between discs of the same patient. Results: The mean age of the participant was 14 years, and the mean curvature before and after surgery were 67.8 and 23.8, respectively (p<0.05). During the median follow-up of 5 years, the mean degree of the disc degeneration significantly increased in all patients after surgery (p<0.05) with a Pfirrmann grade of 1 and 2.8 in the L2-L3 before and after surgery, respectively. The corresponding figures at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 levels were 1.28 and 2.43, 1.07 and 2.35, and 1 and 2.33, respectively. The lower was the number of free discs below the fusion level, the higher was the Pfirrmann grade of degeneration (p<0.001). Conversely, the higher was the number of the discs fused together, the higher was the Pfirrmann grade. Conclusions: we observed that the disc degeneration aggravated after spinal fusion for scoliosis. While the degree of degeneration as measured by Pfirrmann grade was directly correlated by the number of fused segments, it was negatively correlated with the number of discs that remained free below the lowermost level of the fusion.

The LBB (Leak Before Break) concept is based on evaluating the fracture toughness. NUREG 1061, Vol.3 announced that the specimen for evaluating fracture resistance needs to have same thickness or thicker than pipe. Therefore, it is difficult to collect specimen from pipe which has same thickness as a pipe. So, ASTM standard suggested the use of standard specimen with 1 inch thickness. However, it has been known that an application of LBB by test results of standard specimen is conservative compare with that by real pipe. In this study, to supplement such conservatism, the evaluation of fracture resistance characteristics was performed with curved CT specimen, which has same thickness and curvature as a pipe. In addition, fracture resistance characteristics of curved CT specimen were compared with those of CT specimen. For this, shape factor F, hpl and g were obtained from FEM analysis using the limit load method.

해안 지역은 해수의 운동에너지의 대부분은 해안에서 소산되며 이 과정에서 해안의 토사 등이 유실된다. 수면에 돌출된 방파제에 비해 수중구조물은 해수의 유통을 가능하게 하고 해안선을 따라 해수순환을 가능케 한다. 이 연구에서는 해안 침식을 방지 기능을 갖는 수중구조물을 하부틈새를 갖는 수중장애물로 형상화 하고 후방의 흐름특성을 규명하였다. 실험은 Re =$1.2{\times}10^4$ 조건에서 2프레임 입자영상유속계를 이용하여 속도장을 계측하여 고찰하였다. 측정된 시간평균 속도분포를 분석한 결과 유선의 곡률 효과가 현저히 나타났으며 전단층 주위 유체의 유입 등의 영향으로 박리 전단층 내에서 커다란 와구조가 연속적으로 발생하였다. 또한 하부틈새의 크기가 증가할수록 재순환 영역의 중심이 후류로 이동하고 재순환영역의 강도도 약해지는 결과를 보였다.

This study aims to investigate the patterns and incidence rates of morphological deformities during artificial fingerling production of blackhead seabream (BSB, Acanthopagrus schlegeli) juveniles by visual and soft X-ray observations of BSB juveniles (n=881) collected from four industrial hatcheries. Using both methods, we observed seven types of external deformity ($11.2{\pm}4.4%$) and eight types of skeletal deformity ($53.4{\pm}5.1%$). Lordosis occurred in all hatcheries with the highest frequency and the mean frequency was $13.1{\pm}4.4%$ (24.5% in total abnormal) by soft X-ray. Although they had a similar standard length (SL), juveniles with lordosis had a significantly lower condition factor and body weight than normally developed juveniles (P<0.05); normal distribution curves of histogram of body proportions, i.e., body height (BH)/head length (HL) and trunk (=SL-HL)/BH, indicated differences between normally developed juveniles and those with lordosis. In addition, 59% of juveniles with lordosis had vertebral curvature of less than $20^{\circ}$, generally at the $17^{th}$ vertebrae. It is expected that the above results will be used as basic data necessary for determining the cause of lordosis and for developing techniques to prevent this symptom in the fingering production industry of BSB juveniles.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of long turn mechanism by describing long turns after kinematic analysis and provide skiers and winter sports instructors with data through which they are able to analyze right postures for turns in skiing in a systematic, rational and scientific manner. Method: For this, a mean difference of kinematic variables (the center of gravity (CG) displacement of distance, trajectory, velocity, angle) was verified against a total of 12 skiers (skilled and unskilled, 6 persons each), regarding motions from the up-start to down-end points for long turns. Results: First, concerning the horizontal displacement of CG during a turn in skiing, skilled skiers were positioned on the right side at the upstart and edge-change points at a long turn. There was no difference in anteroposterior and vertical displacements. Second, in terms of CG-trajectory differences, skilled skiers revealed a significant difference during a long turn. Third, regarding skiing velocity, skilled skiers were fast at the edge-change and maximum inclination points in long turns. Fourth, there was no difference in a hip joint in terms of a lower limb joint angle. In a knee joint, a large angle was found at the up-start point among skilled skiers when they made a long turn. Conclusion: In overall, when skilled and unskilled skiers were compared, to make a good turn, it is required to turn according to the radius of turn by reducing weight, concerning the CG displacement. Regarding the CG-trajectory differences, the edge angle should be adjusted via proper inclination angulation. In addition, a skier should be more leaned toward the inside of a turn when they make a long turn. In terms of skiing velocity, it is needed to reduce friction on snow through the edging and pivoting of the radius or turn according to curvature and controlling ski pressure. Regarding a lower limb joint angle, it is important to make an up move by increasing ankle and knee angles instead of keeping the upper body straight during an up motion.

본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시각에서 가장 중요한 과제의 하나인 ,3차원 물체의 표현에 대해 원뿔형태의 기술과 표면 분류시 임계치를 자동으로 선정하는 방법에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 기존에 미분기하학에서 사용한 평균 곡률 (H)과 가우스 곡률(K)은 물체의 상당 부분을 차지하고 있는 원뿔표면에 대한 분류가 불가능하였다. 또한 평균 곡률과 가우스 곡률의 부호값에 따른 표면 분류가 실제 거리 영상에 적용시 올바로 분류가 안 되는 문제를 가지고 있었다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 이 같은 두 가지 문제를 해결하기 위해 리지와 벨리의 표면분류로부터 원뿔표면 형태(cone ridge, cone valley)를 분류해 내었다. 즉, 원뿔표면 형태의 경우 H의 값이 일정하고, 원뿔표면 형태의 경우는 H의 값이 다름을 이용하여 원뿔표면 형태를 분류하였다. 아울러 통계적인 관점에서 표면분류 임계치를 선정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 실험에 의해 제안한 방법의 유용성을 입증하고자 한다.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of variable message signage (VMS) on traffic safety as a function of road curve radius using statistical methods. METHODS: In order to analyze the impact of VMS installations on traffic safety, travel speed, lateral distance, and geometric data relating to road curvature in each study area was acquired and analyzed for the impact of providing VMS information on driver performance and traffic safety using statistical methods including student t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and the Anderson-Darling test for estimating traffic safety hazard zone in each lane. RESULTS: As a result of analyzing driver performance characteristics before and after providing VMS information, it was determined that by providing VMS information, mean travel speed is deceased and vehicles are driven with increased precision, following the centerline in the first and second lanes. Also the results of analyzing traffic safety impacts of VMS indicate that traffic safety performance factors in the first lane of the Gapyeong section can, on average, increase in the left and right side of the lane by 19.22% and 68.98%, respectively, and in the case of the second lane, safety impacts, on average, can increase in both sides by 100%. For the Hongcheon section, traffic safety impacts in the first lane, on average, can increase along the left and right sides of the lane by 32.31% and 47.18%, and within the second lane, traffic safety can be increased along the left and right side of the lane by 10.97% and -0.01%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of this study, the impact on traffic safety obtained by providing VMS information for road sections with smaller curve radii is greater than can be obtained for road sections with larger curve radii.
