냉각탑은 옥탑이나 건물 외부에 설치하여, 실내의 온도제어를 위해 사용된다. 냉각탑의 운전시 모터, 팬 및 낙하되는 냉각수에서 발생되는 소음 진동은 주변으로 전파가 용이하여, 인접한 건물 내부의 소음 진동 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문은 공장에 인접해 위치한 산업용 냉각탑의 진동 소음을 측정하여, 공장 내부의 정밀장비에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 정상 운전조건에서의 냉각탑의 소음을 측정하고, 냉각탑에서 일정거리 떨어진 공장의 바닥과 공장 내부에 위치한 정밀장비를 대상으로 진동을 측정하여, 냉각탑과 정밀기계의 진동 소음 평가기준에 의해 냉각탑의 진동 소음이 정밀장비의 정밀도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 측정결과 냉각탑의 소음은 동일 용량 냉각탑의 기준 소음치인 68dB(A)보다 4~9dB(A) 높다. 냉각탑의 진동이 정밀장비에 미치는 영향은 냉각탑이 위치하는 건물 지지 프레임의 진동이 정밀장비가 위치한 바닥의 진동보다 낮아 영향은 미미하다. 정밀장비가 위치한 실내 바닥은 진폭은 허용기준치 안에 들어가나 진동 가속도 레벨 기준으로는 높게 나타났다.

Background: Patient reported outcome measures assess clinical progress from the patient's perspective. This study explored the relationship between shoulder outcome measures (The Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand [DASH], American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standard Shoulder Assessment score [ASES], and Constant score) by comparing the best possible scores obtained in an asymptomatic population compared to overall perception of health, as measured by the SF-36 outcome measure. Methods: Volunteers (age range, 20-69 years) with asymptomatic shoulders and no history of shoulder pain, injury, surgery, imaging, or pathology (bilaterally) were included. The DASH and ASES measures were completed by 111 volunteers (72 female, 39 male), of which 92 completed the Constant score (56 female, 36 male). The SF-36 was completed by all volunteers (level of evidence: IV case series). Results: The mean (${\bar{x}}$) score for ASES measure on the right shoulder was higher for the left-hand dominant side (${\bar{x}}=100.00$ vs. 95.02, p-value<0.001); no other significant differences. Better SF-36 scores were associated with better DASH scores. Our prediction models suggest that perception of overall health affects the DASH scores. Sex affected all three shoulder measures scores. Conclusions: Comparing scores of shoulder outcome measures to the highest possible score is not the most informative way to interpret patient progress. Variables such as health status, sex, and hand dominance need to be considered. Furthermore, it is possible to use these variables to predict scores of outcome measures, which facilitates the healthcare provider to deliver individualized care to their patients.

Blood pressure (BP), one of the most important vital signs, is used to identify an emergency state and reflects the blood flow characteristics of the cardiovascular system. The conventional noninvasive method of measuring BP is inconvenient because patients must wear a cuff on their arm and the measurement process takes time. This paper proposes an algorithm for estimating the BP using the pulse transit time (PTT) of the photoplethysmography (PPG) and pressure pulse from finger at the same time as a more convenient way to measure the BP. After recording the electrocardiogram (ECG), measuring the pressure pulse, and performing PPG, we calculated the PTT from the acquired signals. Then, we used a multiple regression analysis to measure the systolic and diastolic BP indirectly. Comparing the BP measured indirectly using the proposed algorithm and the real BP measured with a sphygmomanometer, the systolic pressure had a mean error of ${\pm}3.240$ mmHg and a standard deviation of 2.530 mmHg, while the diastolic pressure had a satisfactory result, i.e., a mean error of ${\pm}1.807$ mmHg and a standard deviation of 1.396 mmHg. These results are more superior than existing method estimating blood pressure using the one PTT and satisfy the ANSI/AAMI regulations for certifying a sphygmomanometer i.e., the measurement error should be within a mean error of ${\pm}5$ mmHg and a standard deviation of 8 mmHg. These results suggest the possibility of applying our method to a portable, long-term BP monitoring system.

This study is concerned about the process capability index in single process. Previous process capability indices have been developed for the consistency with the nonconforming rate due to the process target value and skewness. These indices calculate the process capability by measuring one spot in an item. But the only one datum in an item reduces the representativeness of the item. In addition to the lack of representativeness, there are many cases that the uniformity of the item such as flatness of panel is absolutely important. In these cases, we have to measure several spots in an item. Also the nonconforming judgment to an item is mainly due to the range not due to the standard variation or the shift from the specifications. To imply the uniformity concept to the process capability index, we should consider only the variation in an item. It is the within subgroup variation. When the universe is composed of several subgroups, the sample standard deviation is the sum of the within subgroup variation and the between subgroup variation. So the range R which represents only the within subgroup variation is the much better measure than that of the sample standard deviation. In general, a subgroup contains a couple of individual items. But in our cases, a subgroup is an item and R is the difference between the maximum and the minimum among the measured data in an item. Even though our object is a single process index, causing by the subgroups, its analytic structure looks like a system process capability index. In this paper we propose a new process capability index considering the representativeness and uniformity.

Coumarine이 부착된 인산결합 단백질 (PBP-MDCC)의 형광변화가 뉴클레오사이드 삼인산 가수분해과정에서 배출된 무기 인산의 양을 측정하기 위해 관찰되었다. PBP-MDCC 정제후, 형광 방출 스펙트럼은 형광세기가 PBP-MDCC의 몰비을로 약 $70\%$까지 직선형태로 증가하는 것을 보였다. 형광 신호와 인산 기준물질과의 상호관계 측정이 인산 농도-형광세기 표준곡선을 구하기 위하여 stopped-flow 기구에서 행하여졌다. dTTP 가수분해로 부터 나오는 에너지를 이용하여 이중나선 DNA를 풀어주는 단백질인 T7박테리오파지 나선효소를 dPTT라 반응 시켰을 때, 형광변화를 배출된 인산의 양으로 전환할 수 있었다. 인산 배출 결과는 단일가닥 Ml3 DNA가 T7나선 효소에 의한 dTTP가수분해반응을 여러배 증가시키는 것을 보인다. 뉴클레오타이드 삼인산 가수분해 반응에 있어서 종말점 분석 대신에, PBP-MDCC에 의한 연속적인 인산 배출 분석이 배출된 인산을 측정하는데 있어서 쉽고 편리한 방법임을 보였다.

Rear collisions to expressway work trucks result many casualties these days. But, currently, no special measure are being taken except deploying sign trucks behind the working trucks. In the U.S and Europe, trucks with TMA(Truck Mounted Attenuator) are being deployed behind the working truck, which is regarded as the standard method for work area safety, thereby reducing the fatality rates and property damage tremendously. Also, standard for the performance of TMA are established and TMA can be used in the field only when it satisfies the standard. In Korea, neither the standard for nor any guide to the TMA exists. In the situation some manufacturer developed TMA without proper performance evaluation and marketed limited number of TMAs in the field. In the study, NCHRP350, which is the performance standard of expressway safety features of U.S. and materials related to the TMA standard in Europe have been reviewed to establish the Korean performance criteria. Based on the review, and incorporating existing Korean standard for crash cushions, domestic standard for TMA has been proposed and applied in developing Korean TMA and crash tested it to verify the performance. The original design developed was crash tested and modified. The newly proposed design was studied using impact simulation program several times. Modifications were made after each simulation and prototype was built and crash tested as per the newly established TMA performance criteria.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to compare the improvement of Low back pain (LBP) depending on male Inpatient's Brachlalankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV), Method : We evaluated 35 LBP inpatients who took pulse wave velocity test during admission at Jaseng hospital from November 2008 to september 2009. We used applanation tonometry method to measure pulse wave velocity and numerical rating scale to measure patient's improvement. Result : At admission, standard deviation of normal group's NRS was $7.44{\pm}1.67$ and high risk group's was $7.57{\pm}2.09$(P=0.678). After 5 days of admission, standard deviation of normal group's NRS was $5.67{\pm}1.94$ and high risk group's was $6.00{\pm}2.17$(P=0.680). After 10 days of admission, standard deviation of normal group's NRS was $4.00{\pm}1.80$ and high risk group's was $4.95{\pm}1.96$(P=0.281). After 15 days of admission, standard deviation of normal group's NRS was $2.89{\pm}1.62$ and high risk group's was $4.10{\pm}1.92$(P=0.124). At discharge, standard deviation of normal group's NRS was $5.11{\pm}1.69$ and high risk group's was $4.86{\pm}2.08$(P=0.504). Comparison between admission and discharge, standard deviation of normal group's NRS was $5.11{\pm}1.69$ and high risk group's was $4.86{\pm}2.08$(P=0.504) Conclusion : Low back patients with high Brachialankle Pulse Wave Velocity, showed slower improvement rate compare to patients within normal rate. But statically, had no significance.
