Objective: In general, macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma generally cause visual injury in clinical settings. This study aimed to examine the effects of low visual acuity simulations on hand manual dexterity function and brainwaves in healthy young adults. Design: Cross-sectional study design Methods: This study was an observational, cross-sectional study. Seventy healthy young adults participated in this study. To evaluate the effects of low visual acuity simulations on hand function and brain waves, this study involved four different visual conditions including (1) normal vision, (2) simulated cataracts, (3) simulated glaucoma, and (4) simulated macular degeneration. The hand function was measured to use the Minnesota manual dexterity test (MMDT), and the brainwaves was also measured to use the electroencephalography. Results: In hand function, placing and turning performance on the MMDT in the normal visual condition was significantly different than that in the cataract and macular degeneration conditions (p<0.05), and the placing performance was significantly differred in the normal condition than that in the simulated glaucoma. However, turning was not significantly different in the normal condition than that in the simulated glaucoma. The alpha, beta, and gamma waves did not significantly differ among the four visual conditions (p>0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that limited visual information negatively affects the ability to perform tasks requiring arm-hand dexterity and eye-hand coordination. However, the effectiveness of low visual acuity on the brainwaves should be further studied for rehabilitative evidence of visual impairment.

The characteristics of a rock joint which influence the stability of rock mass structures, such as the cut slopes and the tunnels, are largely controlled by the conditions of the rock joint as well as its boundary conditions. Boundary conditions can be represented by assuming that the deformability(or stiffness) of the rock mass surrounding the joints is modelled by a spring with stiffness. A new direct shear apparatus is developed in this study, which adapts a servo control system using PID algorithm. This apparatus can be used to investigate the various aspects of shear characteristics of the rock joints at conditions of constant normal stress and constant normal stiffness and so on. It is possible that the behavior under the constant normal stiffness condition can be predicted by the normalized graphic method with results obtained from the tests in the constant normal stress condition.

Normal zone propagation(NZP) characteristics were investigated on Ag sheathed Bi-2223 tape and cylindrical stacked conductor. Normal zone propagation(N2P) experiments with tape were conducted with refrigerator in temperature from 45 K to 77 K, 0 T. Cylindrical stacked conductor was molding with epoxy and experiments were conducted with adiabatic condition in $LN_2$. NZP velocities of tape with two condition of DC and AC were almost same at each temperature. NZP velocities of cylindrical stacked conductor were 1.9-2.4 cdsec in $LN_2$. Numerical analysis was carried out by a one-dimensional heat balance equation. As a result, simulated results of NZP velocity with Bi-2223 tape were similar to experimental results in DC.

본 연구는 가속도 센서를 이용하여 정신지체유아와 일반유아의 신체활동량을 비교 분석하는데 그 목적이 있었다. 연구대상은 정신지체유아 3명과 일반유아 3명을 대상으로 신체활동량을 분석하였다. 신체활동량의 계측은 횡축 가속도 최고치, 종축 가속도 최고치, 평균 열발산, 분당 보행 수, 피부 전도도이다. 정신지체유아를 교육하는 기관에서의 놀이활동 시간을 측정한 결과 횡축으로 움직였을 때($2.94{\pm}0.60$)와 종축으로 움직였을 때($4.97{\pm}0.65$) 일반유아들(횡측 종측 각각 $4.50{\pm}0.95$, $6.05{\pm}0.87$)보다 덜 움직이는 결과를 얻었다. 이는 신체적 일반 특성에서 운동능력이 부족함을 나타낸 것이다. 또한 평균 열발산과 분당보행수, 피부전도도가 일반 유아들보다 적게 나타났다. 이런 결과를 바탕으로 정신지체유아들의 교육에 있어서 정신지체유아들이 좀 더 흥미를 갖고 활동을 많이 그리고 빨리하도록 하는 교육 프로그램의 개발과 도입이 필요하다는 결론을 얻었다.

본 연구에서는 고공 환경을 모사하기 위해 선행되어야 할 저온 환경 구축에 대한 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 열교환기를 이용하여 공기를 극저온으로 냉각 시키고, 상온의 공기를 혼합하여 온도 특성을 고찰하였다. 오리피스를 사용하여 각각의 유량을 제어할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였으며, 열교환을 위하여 액체질소를 사용하였다. 열교환기를 통하여 냉각된 공기의 온도를 일정하게 유지시키면서 상온의 공기를 혼합시킨 결과 상온의 공기 유량이 증가함에 따라 혼합 공기의 온도도 거의 선형적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 저온 환경 구축에 필요한 다양한 유량의 저온 공기를 생성할 수 있는 가능성을 확보하였다.

The variable sampling inspection scheme with screening for the purpose of assuring the upper limit of maximum expected surplus loss after inspection has been proposed. In this inspection scheme, it has been assumed that a product lot consists of products manufactured through a single production line and lot quality characteristics follow a normal distribution. In the previous literature with respect to inspection schemes, it has been commonly assumed that lot quality characteristics obey a single normal distribution under the condition that all products are manufactured in the same condition. On the other hand, the production line is designed in order that the workload of respective processes becomes uniform from the viewpoint of line balancing. One of the solutions for the bottleneck process is to arrange the workshops in parallel. The lot quality characteristics from such a production line with the process consisting of some parallel workshops might not follow strictly the single normal distribution. Therefore, we expand an applicable scope of the above mentioned variable sampling inspection scheme with screening in this article. Concretely, we consider the variable sampling inspection with screening for the purpose of assuring the upper limit of average outgoing surplus quality loss in the production lots when the lot quality follows the mixed normal distribution.

Normal modes of solids HF, HCl and polyethylene having the exciting spectrometric phenomena have been evaluated by taking the lowest temperature phase of these species in the solid. The solids HF and HCl have the same space group as C$_{2}{\nu}$, and polyethylene has a space group with D$_{2h}$. The normal modes were obtained by the valence force field with modified force constants and a quantitative description of the normal mode is adjusted by the potential energy distribution (PED). From the PED, the most fittable force constants are also obtained. We have intended to calculate the normal modes by using the smallest size of the model and the simple computational process. To remove the edge effects being occurred in constructing the single cluster model, different from the boundary condition being generally used up to now, the idea of pseudolattice method being successfully applied to MO calculations of solid was extended to normal mode analysis in order to give the same environment for all moecules in a chosen cluster. By using the above valence force field and boundary condition, we obtain the assigned frequencies and compare those results with the results obtained by others.

We prove a theorem that there exists at least a solution reaching the prescribed target in autonomous differential inclusion. A weak invariance theorem is obtained from this theorem as its corollary. To deduce the conclusion, we assume that the target satisfies inward pointing condition. This condition will be given by proximal normal cone.

A sequential procedure for estimating a linear function of two normal means which satisfies the two requirements, i.e. one is a condition of coverage probability, the other is a condition of $\beta$-protection, is proposed when the variances are unknown and not necessarily equal. We give asymptotic behaviors of the proposed stopping time.

In this paper, we establish a sharp condition of global existence for the solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an angular momentum rotational term. This condition is related to the ground state solution of some steady-state nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
