  • 최근 농업분야의 스마트 농기계로 분류되고 있는 방제드론은 농촌지역의 고령화 시대를 맞이하여 작업 시간 단축과 방제효과를 높이기 위해 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어를 결합하여 스마트 방제 및 자동방제 시스템 구축을 위해 노력하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관리관제 및 자동방제 시스템 구축을 위한 기초연구로 방제드론 전용노즐의 특성을 분석하였다. 다양한 드론 모델의 종류, 방제사, 바람, 비행속도, 비행고도, 날씨 조건, UAV 농약 종류 등 다양한 변수를 고려하기 위해서는 노즐의 특성파악과 범용성을 고려하여 약제살포 기준 제시가 가능한 관련 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 다양한 변수 고려가 가능하도록 자체 설계노즐을 기반으로 유동해석(CFD) 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 감수지 실험을 통하여 액적분포의 이론값과 실험값을 비교 분석하였다. 추후 드론운용에 따른 다양한 변수를 고려하여 정확한 비산을 산출하고 관리관제 및 자동방제 시스템에 활용하고자 한다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 LPS가 처리된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서의 염증 반응이 미세먼지(PM2.5)에 의해 더욱 증가될 수 있는지를 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 LPS와 미세먼지(PM2.5)가 단독으로 처리되거나 LPS가 존재하는 조건에서 미세먼지(PM2.5)가 처리된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 염증 매개변수와 ROS의 생성 정도 및 염증 조절 유전자들의 발현 수준을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 세포 독성이 없는 범위에서 LPS가 처리된 세포에서 미세먼지(PM2.5)는 염증성 매개 인자(NO 및 PGE2) 및 cytokine (IL-6 및 IL-1β)의 생성 수준이 각각의 단독 처리군에 비하여 매우 증가되었으며. 이는 이들의 생성에 관여하는 유전자들의 전사 및 번역 수준에서의 발현 증가와 연관성이 있었다. 또한, LPS가 처리된 RAW 264.7 세포에 미세먼지(PM2.5)가 노출되었을 때, 핵에서 NF-κB의 발현이 더욱 증가하였고, 세포질에서는 NF-κB 뿐만 아니라 IκB-α의 발현이 감소되었다. 이러한 결과는 LPS와 미세먼지(PM2.5)의 단독 처리에 비하여 동시 처리된 경우 NF-κB 신호계의 활성이 더욱 증가하여 염증성 유전자들의 전사 활성촉진에 기여하였음을 의미한다. 나아가 LPS가 처리된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 미세먼지(PM2.5)에 의해 ROS 생성이 크게 증가되었지만 NF-κB 억제제는 ROS의 생성을 감소시키지 못하였다. 그러나, ROS 생성을 인위적으로 억제하였을 경우, 미세먼지(PM2.5)에 의해 증가된 염증 매개 인자의 발현 및 생성과 NF-κB의 활성화가 모두 감소되었다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과는 LPS가 처리된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 미세먼지(PM2.5)에 의해 유도된 NF-κB 매개 염증반응의 증가는 ROS 생성 의존적 현상임을 시사한다.

  • Railroad bridges in North America are an integral but aging part of the railroad network and are typically only monitored using visual inspections. When quantitative information is required for assessment, railroads often monitor bridges using accelerometers. However without a sensor to directly measure displacements, it is difficult to interpret these results as they relate to bridge performance. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a non-contact sensor technology capable of directly measuring the displacement of any visible bridge component. In this research, a railroad bridge was monitored under load using DIC and accelerometers. DIC measurements are directly compared to serviceability limits and it is observed that the bridge is compliant. The accelerometer data is also used to calculate displacements which are compared to the DIC measurements to assess the accuracy of the accelerometer measurements. These measurements compared well for zero-mean lateral data, providing measurement redundancy and validation. The lateral displacements from both the accelerometers and DIC at the supports were then used to determine the source of lateral displacements within the support system.

  • In this research in order to grasp the recent research trends of clothing comfort in Korea, 584 theses have been analyzed about the forms, contents and subjects of their researches which have been published in four Korean Journals from 2000 to 2012. The results are as follows: Many of the research contents were on the clothing comfort and environmental adaptation clothes in all journals. Handle, skin temperature, clothing pressure and working clothes showed the highest frequency ln the key words. The review studies were the fewest, and experimental or survey researches were largely conducted. The research forms showed the significant differences according to the research contents. The subjects were largely focused on those aged from 18 to 29, and among the research subjects on clothing comfort, female were more than male. However, in the researches on clothing quantity and clothes wearing conditions, many of them were the studies whose subjects were both men and women. The male and old subjects increased more and more. The number of the theses in the field of clothing environmentology showed the gradually increasing tendency. The most rates were the theses on clothing comfort, but as the number of those on environment adaptation clothes increased more and more, the research contents in the two fields showed much the same. Though the attention to aging and smart clothes is increasing, the research on this is very few. Therefore, it is thought that the study on this field will have to be conducted actively.

  • Little information is available about the characteristics in revolution gait of hemiplegic elderly, which is frequently represented in daily life. It is also hard to elucidate purely the characteristics due to hemiplegia because of no consideration of aging factors. The aim of study is to identify the alteration characteristics of lower extremity joint angles in both straight and revolution gaits together due to hemiplegia through comparing healthy with hemiplegic elderly. Following Institutional Review Board approval, twelve healthy and hemiplegic elderly were participated and the center of body mass (COM) and lower extremity joint angles were measured during straight and revolution gaits using a computer-aided video motion capture system. The results showed that the gait characteristics were generally altered in both straight and revolution gaits due to hemiplegia (p < 0.05). The gait characteristics were then different between the straight and revolution gaits each other. This study may be valuable by identifying for the first time the alterations of the lower extremity joint angles in both straight and revolution gaits due to pure hemiplegia through comparing healthy elderly with hemiplegic elderly.

  • The difficulty in modeling complex nonlinear structures lies in the presence of significant sources of uncertainties mainly attributed to sudden changes in the structure's behavior caused by regular aging factors or extreme events. Quantifying these uncertainties and accurately representing them within the complex mathematical framework of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) are significantly essential for system identification and damage detection purposes. This study highlights the importance of uncertainty quantification in SHM frameworks, and presents a comparative analysis between intrusive and non-intrusive techniques in quantifying uncertainties for SHM purposes through two different variations of the Kalman Filter (KF) method, the Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and the Polynomial Chaos Kalman Filter (PCKF). The comparative analysis is based on a numerical example that consists of a four degrees-of-freedom (DOF) system, comprising Bouc-Wen hysteretic behavior and subjected to El-Centro earthquake excitation. The comparison is based on the ability of each technique to quantify the different sources of uncertainty for SHM purposes and to accurately approximate the system state and parameters when compared to the true state with the least computational burden. While the results show that both filters are able to locate the damage in space and time and to accurately estimate the system responses and unknown parameters, the computational cost of PCKF is shown to be less than that of EnKF for a similar level of numerical accuracy.

  • In addition to the instability of energy import costs caused by the depletion of petroleum resources, which is a representative energy resource, and the strengthening of various regulations such as the convention on climate change, the plant for bio energy production, which is being watched as the next generation energy, and became subject of various complaints. In order to solve this problem, the bio-plant is underground and the ground is parked, making the convenience and accessibility of citizens more and more accessible. In this situation, the development of bioenergy production technology also increases the risk factor in bioenergy production process. Accordingly this paper explains method about apply the wide angle camera based AOA algorithm to the bio plant to prevent the accidents from spreading due to the lack of facilities and safety devices and the aging of the facilities and suggests a technique that can quickly identify the location and direction when it occurs.
